User Defined Object (UDO) Features

Orchestration components are saved and managed as UDOs in EnterpriseOne, which enables administrators to use EnterpriseOne administration tools to manage the life cycle of orchestration components. See Administering the Orchestrator Studio and Orchestrations in this guide for more information.

The Orchestrator Studio includes UDO features that enable you to create orchestration components for your own personal use, publish or "share" orchestration component UDOs with other Orchestrator Studio users, and modify shared UDOs created by others. The actions yhou can perform, or the UDO features you can use, depends on UDO permissions granted to you by a system administrator. See Setting Up UDO Security for Orchestrator Studio Users (Release 9.2.1) for more information

The following image describes the UDO buttons in the Orchestrator Studio design pages and the life cycle status enacted by each UDO action.

UDO Button	Description
Save and Save As	Saves the orchestration component to a status of "Personal." This means that the component has not been shared. Components with a status of "Personal" are components that you are developing and have not been shared for publishing to the AIS Server.
Request to Publish	Sends the orchestration component for approval for sharing. An administrator or approver must approve it in order for the UDO to be shared. The component status changes to "Pending Approval" in the component list and then changes to "Shared" once it is approved. If rejected, that status changes to "Rework." At that point, you can edit the component and then use the Request to Publish button to send it for approval again.
Reserve	Reserves a shared UDO so you can modify it. When reserved, no other users can make changes to it. The component status changes to "Reserved."
Unreserve	Cancels the reserved component, which returns the status of the component to "Shared."
Delete	Deletes a "Personal" UDO. You cannot use this button to delete a shared UDO. Shared UDOs can only be deleted by an administrator.
Notes	Available when the component is in the "Pending Approval" status, this button enables you to add an additional note to send to the approver of the UDO. The Notes button is active only if there was a note added the first time the UDO was sent for approval using the "Request to Publish" button. This feature enables you to add an addendum to the original note.
